Inner Rods of the Tabernacle

Neville's Inner Vision

All twelve rods symbolize the many states of consciousness vying for form in you. Aaron’s rod among them signifies that a divine authority—the I AM within you—has been chosen as your governing state. When Moses lays these rods in the tabernacle of witness, it is your inner decision to place one reality, a fixed, loyal conviction, into the sanctuary of awareness. The act is not about wood but about alignment: you acknowledge that the present power of God operates through the state you cultivate in consciousness. When you assume and feel the reality of your I AM presence as already true, you set that state in the heart’s sanctuary; the other rods may still appear, but they no longer rule. Providence then follows the covenant you maintain with your inner God: loyalty to that which you truly are. So, the man or woman who rests in the felt sense of being endowed with divine authority will observe a continuity of guidance and favor, the outward world bending to the inner testimony.
